Beschreibung
I am an open-minded, easy going late-20 something Yoga Teacher and Vegan Baker who loves to travel and meet new people. I've decided to take some time away from my work over Summer to enable me to travel, meet new people and start a new adventure.

A few years ago, after quiting my first 9-5 office job, I travelled to Vietnam, Cambodia and
Sri Lanka, volunteering in language schools, experiencing different cultures and meeting an abundance of welcoming people. It was in this time that I had the idea to spend some time in India completing my yoga teacher training. Four years later and I'm now a fully qualified Adults and Children's Yoga Teacher with regular classes which I've been running over the past 4 years. I'm also a newly qualified nassage therapist (in Indian Head Massage) and am in the process of qualifying in Baby Yoga. In this time I've also set up a home vegan bakery, which keeps me travelling around the cities markets and has brought me a loyal following.

I have previously spent a year in France teaching English to 13- 18 year old students, which helped enhance my teaching skills and gave me hands on experience of dependently controlling an entire group of students. It also gave me the opportunity to explore creative new teaching methods which engaged the students in fun and interactive ways of developing their language skills. Additionally I've taught English in Vietnam, India and, most recently, online to Chinese students.

During my studies I have developed a keen interest in international business and development, being fascinated with developing countries strategic planning and paths to sustainable development. I am also very interested in the effects of tourism on a developing country and how sustainable tourism can be achieved and maintained.

I am passionate about exploring new places and have visited numerous countries, experiencing different cultures and meeting exciting new people. I have previously backpacked around Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, The Phillipines, Hawaii, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Europe and India; experiencing cultures completely different to my own and seeing an abundance of diversely beautiful places. I also love animals, thoroughly enjoy cooking and have a keen interest in trying and experimenting with new dishes and foods.

Throughout my trip I’m looking to broaden my horizons, have new experiences and challenge myself. I hope to explore many new places and would love to help you out during a new workaway experience.

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and we strongly assert that Chloe is an excellent volunteer and we would like to recommend her to any future host. Chloe came here like many of the travellers brought her own story. We have learnt lots of new things about Western culture as well as sharing funny stories in the life.
She adapted very… read more

Vom Workawayer (Chloe) für Host (Volunteer with our NGO ...)

I spent three great weeks in Hanoi helping out the girls. Ngoc, who is the leader of the project, made me feel at home straight away. She was always willing to help out with anything from ideas for lesson plans to arranging day activites. Yen and I had so many great chats about Vietnam and England, sharing our different cultures and experiences… read more with each other. And finally Loan, who stays at the centre throughout the day to cook and help out with lessons, although shy at first, was great fun always wanting to beter her english skills and go on trips out for coffee and clothes shopping. I only wish I could've stayed longer to get to know them all better.
The food was great, we were served two main meals a day and normally something small for breakfast or we could go to the fresh fruit and veg market just down the road. The meals normally consisted of rice and some sort of vegetable for me as I am a vegetarian.
The accommodation provided is a very basic appartment with two bedrooms and a small kitchen with a little table and chairs where we ate our meals. There is also a class room with a large table in the appartment where the majority of classes are taught. The three girls share one bedroom and the other is shared between the volunteers. At one point we were 4 and the room did feel quite crowded, so I can imagine if there were 5 volunteers at one time it would feel quite tight for space. The location of the appartment, although being good as it was close to West Lake where there are many cafes to go and relax, is quite far from most other things you would want to see in Hanoi so be prepared to travel. I used GRAB bikes pretty much everyday which were great, cheap and felt safe.
Volunteers are expecting to teach between 1 and 2 lessons a day however I normally taught 2. The majority of the lessons are taught in the appartment however there are also some taught at the university or at other centres for example lessons for the countryside children and autistic children, but the girls provide you with transport to and from these. I was lucky to have the University students twice a week and this ended up being my favourite class to teach. There is also always one of the girls in the lesson to provide you with any support you may need. Lessons are either in the morning (9-11), late afternoon (3-5) or evening (6:30-8), this was good because it meant you had the majority of the day to go out and do some exploring. Having said that, I was working until 8 every day which was sometimes annoying if you wanted to do anything in the evening.
With regards to the overall experience and whether or not I would recommend it to future workawayers I would say it depends what you're looking for in your trip to Hanoi, but if you are an open minded person who wants a real authentic Vietnamese experience, to be thrown completely out of your comfort zone, and to meet some really great people then I think this workaway is deifnitely the one for you!
Thank you again Ngoc, Yen and Loan you'll always have an English friend in me, please stay in touch and I look forward to seeing you in the future either in Vietnam or Europe xxx

We both had an amazing time with Fabien in his beautiful self made home, what an amazing house! Fabien has a lot of experiences which he was more then willing to share with us, teaching us a lot even though we were only there for a week. Although being left to watch Lea all day was at times challenging both Lea and Fabien were extremely welcoming,… read more

Hey! Sorry for the late feedback, its been a very busy time with the beginning of third year at uni!
This was our first workaway experience and to be honest, we weren't entirely sure what to expect! However, our apprehensions we're removed as we immediately felt very welcome by Jo and Daz, and their two lovely dogs! The house was lovely and the… read more
